Liquid metal beam slag content detection device
The present invention relates to the detection technique of slag content in the liquid metal beam, be specifically related in the casting process from metal smelting furnace or the big pick-up unit that wraps slag content the liquid metal beam that flows out.
In the continuous casting smelting process, will there be slag to flow out the latter stage of flowing out from smelting furnace or big the bag with liquid metal at liquid metal.In order to guarantee the degree of purity of liquid metal, need be at the liquid metal flow export sensor installation of smelting furnace or big bag, the content of slag detects and controls in the liquid towards metal beam.This sensor is the key components of slag content detection device in the liquid metal beam.The electromagnetic sensor of an annular normally is installed around the liquid metal beam.Because sensor installation position temperature is higher, the insulation between the coil is the key issue that electromagnetic sensor is made.AMEPA company (DE 3722795) employing stupalith filling agent is realized the insulation between the coil, and its practice is to make sheathed cable with coil, stupalith and stainless steel sleeve control.Its advantage is that manufacture craft is simple.Its shortcoming at first is that the sheathed cable external diameter is thicker, wire circle that can coiling in limited sensor internal space limited (about 10 circles), cause determining the coil induction reactance of coil electromagnetism sensing capability lower (less than 0.3 ohm), limited the sensitivity of electromagnetic sensor; Next is the narrow space in the sheathed cable, heart yearn line footpath wherein is thinner, (transmitting coil is about 50 ohm to the direct current resistance of coil, receiving coil is about 150 ohm) be far longer than the induction reactance of coil, the most energy consumptions that cause excitation power supply are in the heating of transmitting coil, and be used for the energy shortage 0.6% of electric magnetization, further limited the sensitivity of sensor.Because the sensitivity of sensor is low, sensor signal must be amplified significantly, and system stability is relatively poor.Zhejiang University (ZL 01255085.X) is in order to solve the high-temperature insulation problem at coil overcoat porcelain tube, recharge thermal insulation material on every side, operate cumbersome, and porcelain tube and thermal insulation material occupy than large space, can only adopt single coil structure, transducer sensitivity and stability are subjected to bigger restriction, do not reach practical level so far as yet.Another key issue of electromagnetic sensor is how to reduce background interference signal (comprising the signal drift that structured material temperature variation such as the variation of the background signal that transmitting coil produces and smelting equipment datum plate cause in receiving coil).AMEPA company (DE 3722795) adopts local additional electromagnetic shield and provides the way of multiple frequency current to reduce the interference of ladle datum plate temperature variation to sensor to transmitting coil.Its practice is that transmitting coil and receiving coil are produced in the same cell of sensor box (in fact being that transmitting coil and receiving coil are produced within the sheathed cable of same stainless steel sleeve pipe concurrently), and reference coil is produced on another insulated chamber of sensor box, or be placed on outside the sensor box, or electricity consumption signal imitation reference coil, so that the different parts additional electromagnetic shield material in sensor box.This makes receiving coil very near from transmitting coil, the coefficient of mutual inductance between transmitting coil and the receiving coil and the temperature coefficient of this coefficient of mutual inductance have been strengthened, thereby the background signal of receiving coil and this background signal have been strengthened with the variation of temperature amount, the signal drift amount that the signal drift amount that sensor self temperature variation produces causes greater than structured material temperature variation such as datum plates has directly influenced the stability of sensor.And the practice of additional electromagnetic shield material, particularly reference coil is shifted out the practice of sensor box, make reference coil and receiving coil be in different environment, the purpose of offsetting the environmental interference that receiving coil is subjected to by reference coil and additional frequency exciting current just is difficult to realize more.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of sensitivity, stable, the reliable and simple electromagnetic type liquid metal of manufacture craft beam slag content detection device.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this: be installed in the sensor of liquid metal stream circumference and signal-transmitting cable and signal processor and formed liquid metal beam slag content detection device.Sensor has an endless metal shell, and each the layer line circle in the sensor is wound on respectively in the spiral groove on the insulation course.
Insulation course is made up of the insulating trip of with groove.When the insulating trip of with groove is circular layout in sensor, axially displaced along loop sensor piecewise, make the insulating trip of arranging with groove when expiring a week move axially a circle distance, but the groove on the insulating trip that is circular layout has so promptly constituted the spiral groove of coiling along loop sensor.
Be furnished with receiving coil, packed layer, transmitting coil and compensating coil successively from interior the ring to outer shroud in the sensor of the present invention, the signal of compensating coil and receiving coil is anti-phase addition in signal processor.
Packed layer of the present invention is made up of the insulation filling piece of with groove.
The outside of compensating coil of the present invention also has one deck to be wound on fastening coil in the spiral groove on the insulation course.
In the survey slag sensor of the present invention the insulating trip of with groove realized between each layer line circle of sensor and same layer line circle each the circle between insulation, this has just simplified sensor production technology, has reduced material cost, has shortened the fabrication cycle of sensor.The particularly important is along the coil of groove coiling and can the more number of turns of coiling also adopt thicker line footpath, thereby in the induction reactance that strengthens transmitting coil, reduced the direct current resistance of transmitting coil, finally strengthened exciting current, especially strengthen the energy share of excitation power supply electromagnetic radiation, improved the sensitivity of surveying the slag sensor.
The introducing of packed layer has been directed at the non-uniform Distribution of sensor interior loop in the survey slag sensor of the present invention, make transmitting coil far away apart from receiving coil, nearer apart from compensating coil, thereby reduced the background signal that transmitting coil produces in receiving coil, just can offset the background signal that transmitting coil produces with the compensating coil that the number of turns is less in the more receiving coil of the number of turns.In addition, the introducing of packed layer has strengthened the distance of liquid metal beam to compensating coil, the electromagnetic signal that produces in the receiving coil of the electromagnetic signal that vortex flow that transmitting coil produces in the liquid metal beam is produced in the less not only distance compensating coil far away of the number of turns but also close together more in the number of turns much smaller than this vortex flow.Thereby compensating coil is when offsetting the background signal that transmitting coil produces in receiving coil, and weakening of the useful signal that the vortex flow in the liquid towards metal beam produces in receiving coil is very little.Also have, electromagnetic structure materials such as datum plate are nearer apart from the less compensating coil of the number of turns as secondary electromagnetic radiator, and are far away apart from the receiving coil that the number of turns is more, help restraining the drift of the sensor signal that these structured materials cause.Hence one can see that, and packed layer has improved the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of annular survey slag sensor effectively.
The differential type structure of receiving coil of the present invention and compensating coil, and the when bigger exciting current of the extraordinary noise of sensor etc. have guaranteed sensitivity, stability and the reliability of the height of liquid metal slag content detection device of the present invention.

As an example, Fig. 1 has provided the system diagram of slag content detection device from the liquid metal beam that big bag flows out.Filling pipe end (18) is arranged at big bag (17) bottom of depositing liquid metal (16) among the figure, and liquid metal beam (19) is by filling pipe end (18) bag (21) in the perforate of slide plate (20) flows into.Electromagnetic type survey slag sensor (22) be installed in liquid metal beam (19) and filling pipe end (18) around, its outer rim side is adjacent with big bag datum plate (23), and brick cup under the big bag (24) is arranged on it, and upper slide mounting bracket (25) is arranged under it.The signal of sensor (22) is sent to signal processor (27) through cable (26).When the slag content in the liquid metal beam (19) surpassed the reservation value, signal processor (27) reported to the police and sends the signal of cutting out slide plate (20), bag (21) during the liquid metal that prevents to contain excessive slag flows into.
Fig. 2 A-Fig. 2 D has provided the structure and the principle of survey slag sensor (22).Surveying slag sensor (22) is annular, and a metal shell (1) is arranged.Metal shell (1) inner chamber is furnished with receiving coil (2), transmitting coil (3) and compensating coil (4) successively from encircling in the sensor to outer shroud.2 layers of receiving coil is wound in the spiral groove of insulation course (5) of 2 layers of with groove among the figure.The insulation filling layer (6) that with groove is arranged between receiving coil (2) and the transmitting coil (3).4 layers of transmitting coil (3) are wound on respectively in the spiral groove of insulation filling layer (6) and 3 layer insulatings (7) among the figure.1 layer of compensating coil (4) is wound in the spiral groove of a layer insulating (8) among the figure.The outside of compensating coil among the figure (4) also has one deck coil to constitute fastened layer (9), this layer is wound in the spiral groove of insulation course (10), is used for making the shape and the position of receiving coil (2), transmitting coil (3), compensating coil (4) and insulation course (5), packed layer (6), insulation course (7) and insulation course (8) in the sensor (22) to remain unchanged.Insulation course (5), (7), (8) and (10) are made up of collets (11), (13), (14) and (15) of with groove, and the insulation filling layer is made up of the insulation filling piece (12) of with groove.The insulating trip of with groove (11), (13), (14) and the insulation filling piece (12) of (15) and with groove when in the sensor (22) of horizontal positioned, successively being circular layout vertically, one by one along axially evenly displacement of loop sensor, make and arrange a full week and formation insulation course (5), (7), (8), (10) or during packed layer (6), insulating trip (11), (13) (14) and (15) and insulation filling piece (12) axially add up to be shifted a circle distance, insulation course (5) like this along loop sensor (22), (7), (8), (10) and packed layer (6) but on groove promptly constituted the spiral groove of coiling.Usually the girth of sensor (22) interior loop is much larger than the width of insulating trip (11), (13) (14), (15) and filling block (12), and the radius-of-curvature of the groove on insulating trip (11), (13) (14), (15) and the filling block (12) is slightly larger than the radius of the metal wire of wherein coiling, can guarantee that the coiling of coil in spiral groove carry out smoothly.Insulating trip (11), (13), (14), (15) and filling block (12) are made by resistant to elevated temperatures stupalith.
The exchange current that signal processor (27) produces feeds transmitting coil (3) through cable (26), produces vortex flow in liquid metal beam (19), and this vortex flow produces induced signal in receiving coil (2) and compensating coil (4).This 2 road signal is sent into signal processor (27) through cable (26) and is carried out anti-phase addition, and the background signal that transmitting coil (3) is produced in receiving coil (2) and compensating coil (4) is cancelled out each other.The introducing of packed layer (6) has strengthened the distance of receiving coil (2) with transmitting coil (3), reduced the background signal that transmitting coil (3) produces in receiving coil (2), thereby just can offset the background signal that transmitting coil (3) produces in the more receiving coil of the number of turns (2) with the less compensating coil of the number of turns (4).Compare with compensating coil (4), the number of turns of receiving coil (2) is more, the induced signal nearer apart from liquid metal beam (19), that the induced signal that the vortex flow that transmitting coil (3) produces in liquid metal beam (19) produces in receiving coil (2) produces in the less distance again of number of turns compensating coil (4) far away much larger than this vortex flow.Like this, signal processor (27) enters anti-phase addition when handling at the signal to receiving coil (2) and compensating coil (4), and just the overwhelming majority of the signal that the vortex flow in the liquid metal beam (19) is produced in receiving coil (2) has kept.Except that the background signal that transmitting coil (3) produces in receiving coil (2), the vortex flow that the electric current of transmitting coil (3) produces in big bag datum plate (23) and upper slide mounting bracket electromagnetic mediums such as (25) is the key factor that causes the signal drift of sensor (22).Datum plate among Fig. 1 (23) and upper slide mounting bracket metal materials such as (25) are nearer apart from the less compensating coil of the number of turns (4), far away apart from the more receiving coil of the number of turns (2), this version help reducing sensor (22) on every side the electromagnetic medium temperature variation to the interference effect of sensor.
